Sock robbers and the best footballing insults
“Sock robbers, sock robbers, sock robbers,” the Liverpool fans sang at Goodison Park last night, bombarding the Bullens Road touchline with rolled-up balls of footwear.
This was to taunt Evertonians about their proposed move to a stadium in Kirkby, which is outside Liverpool city limits. Scouse urban myth has it that, in the dark days of the 1960s and 1970s, not even odd socks were safe on a Kirkby washing line from local thieves. The legend has been taken up with a vengeance by the red side of the city.
Last night's chant was just the latest footballing insult to be offered up by supporters in the increasingly hostile atmosphere of the Merseyside derby. But supporters' taunts are nothing new, whether it be West Ham fans taunting the Kop by singing, "We've got Di Canio, you've got our stereos" to the tune of Verdi's Rigoletto, or Derby fans mocking Newcastle United supporters when shirt sponsors Northern Rock went into meltdown, by singing, "Banked with the Woolwich, you should have banked with the Woolwich".
Rafa's got his Dirk Kuyt, Rafa's got his Dirk Kuyt, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah.... (important to pause briefly between the Dirk and the Kuyt). Kwality, no?
HUll City fans singing "ARE YOU ARSENAL IN DISGUISE?" at Spurs V Hull City, after Hull had beaten Arsenal and were about to beat Spurs 0-1.
Chelsea supporters at Fernando Torres:
"Oohhh, they haven't won the title,
for 18 f***ing years,
so they signed a w****r,
who looks like Britney Spears;
a trip to Moscow beckoned,
they ordered him a visa,
until the goal was scored,
by Johnny Arne Riise..."During half time of a Villa v Sunderland match, a woman proposed to her boyfriend on the pitch. He accepted and the Holte End sang "You don't know what you're doing, you don't know what you're doing..."
At the Utd match the other week....
Viva Da Silva, Viva Da Silva,
When they are both on the pitch,
We dont know which is which
Viva Da Silva!!Posted by: Mark O'Reilly
Utd vs Chelsea at Old Traffford - the home fans chanting 'Viva John Terry' and cheering his every touch was hilarious!
He shoots, he scores,
He eats your labradours,
Ji Sung Park,
Ji Sung Park.If only the first bit were true then this would be the best chant ever.
West Ham to Arsenal, the first time at the Emirates after leaving Highbury. 1 - 0 up.
"It's still a library oh it's still a library"
The funniest chant ever has to be.. sung by everton fans.... HOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEE.... Who needs Cantona,when we've got Barry Horne! I said WHO NEEDS CANTONA, WHEN WE'VE GOT BARRY HORNE!
I was always inpressed by on old tune of the Scousers, set to 'Blame It On The Boogie'
"Don't blame on the Biscan, Don't blame it on the Hamann, Don't blame it on the Finnan, Blame it on Traore.
He just can't, He just can't, He just can't control his feet..."
from last weeks Everton- United match.
I was rather amused, watching MoTD highlights of Arsenal v. Chelsea, shortly after Ashley Coles extra-marital activities had come to light, to hear the Gunner faithful chanting:
WHERE'S YOUR CHERYL GONE?
WHERE'S YOUR CHERYL GONE?At Stamford Bridge a few years ago, an announcement came over the tannoy: "Any homophobic chants will reject in ejection from the ground, and a permanent ban from the stadium from the police".
Cue Arsenal fans: "duh duh duh, we're not homophobic, duh duh duh, we just hate Cashley Cole.
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard,
He kisses the badge on his chest,
Then hands in a transfer request,
Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.'CRAIG BELLAMY IS A NUTTER, HE'LL HIT YOU WITH HIS PUTTER. LA LA LA LA, LA LA LA LA!'
When portly John Hartson was at Celtic, Rangers fans used to sing:
"All things bright and beautiful
All creatures great and small
All things wise and wonderful
John Hartson ate them all"
As a Liverpool fan, its difficult admitting to liking anything that comes from our old enemies down the east lancs road but I had to laugh at this one sung by the Man U fans about Ji Sung Park:
"Park, Park, wherever you may be,
You eat dogs in your country!
It could be worse, you could be Scouse,
Eating rats in your council house!"
